Jehovah's Witnesses Are Getting Tired Of Waiting For Armageddon

This woman wasted 5 years of her life preaching watchtower false propaganda, whereas she could have worked for anyone of thousands of charities doing real meaningful satisfying work really helping people.

What kind me is this little video example & explanation is enough for the robot's brains to say, praise Jah he helps us understand why it's fine and good for us to continue to wait on him!

Guess what, it not ever gonna happen.

What does this guy seem to be doing?

I'm only 3 mins into the video and the wine bathtub moment will always be my favorite 😂 the dedication (🥁) 👌

The witnesses have for sure in the past told people that higher education is a waste of time because the end could be any day now. We need doctors and lawyers and many other smart educated people to keep this world functioning until the end does get here. What are you elders thinking??

Jesus said no man knows the day the minute or the hour, not even Him.

Also about putting money where their mouth is, traveling to conventions is ridiculous!!!! There are no group transportation options, you have to pay to stay out town, for meals….ridiculous!!!

I said to my mum how i thought i wouldnt have kids let alone a grandchild. Yet here i am. 45 with 5 kids and 1 grandchild. The generation that will not pass away.... they all died.. my dad died this year at 81 a true believer.

NGL I was expecting a 40 year old bottle of Tony Morris's favourite tipple.

I was tired of it in 1977 it’s such bullshit and when I look at my pathetic family who still believes the bull shit Jesus Christ ugh 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

The light that keeps getting duller and duller

What makes JWs think they have correct information now if it will be revealed as a new light change in understading later on?

Jdub bedroom POVs?

“Reports are heard of brothers selling their homes and property and planning to finish out the rest of their days in this system in the pioneer service. Certainly this is a fine way to spend the short time remaining before the wicked world’s end.”—“Kingdom Ministry”, May 1974, insert “How Are You Using Your Life?”, page 3, paragraph 9, under the subtitle “God’s Will for Us”.

The above is typical of statements made by the Society and its representatives in the run-up to September 1975. Yet, this “Broadcasting” episode is evidence that the Society has not learned the lesson of 1975 and its fallout. Granted, the Society no longer announces specific dates for the accomplished end of the present order of things. Nonetheless, the Society does continue to give Jehovah’s witnesses frequent reminders concerning the “nearness” of that long-promised end.

Furthermore, in the spirit of the statement in the above-quoted insert, the Society interviewed the young sister who served where the need was great in Brazil. But, notice what she said, to wit, that she had planned on being their only one month and wound up staying five years in that “temporary” assignment. Additionally, consider what she also said regarding the woman with whom she conducted a Bible study via pay phone. This young sister couldn’t be bothered to travel five days each way to conduct the study sessions, but the woman and her family and friends—upward of twenty people—would make that same sojourn to attend the congregational meetings. That flies in the face of what we used to read in the Society’s publications and hear from the platform about how those in foreign assignments would traverse land and sea over great distances to study with even one of the Lord’s “other sheep” who is “rightly disposed for everlasting life”. (John 10:16; Acts 17:49,NW 1984 edition) Instead, what do we see in the interview with the young sister? A re-enactment of a get-together with the local congregation. She was supposed to be using her time in that “temporary” assignment to expand her share in the field service; yet, if the film is to be taken as any indication, she was relaxing and taking it easy. No wonder she says that she enjoyed her time there and would go back if her circumstances permitted!

We see another example of the Society keeping the accomplished end of the present order of things before Jehovah’s witnesses in the re-enactment from South Africa. And, yes, Wally, you are correct in what you said concerning 1975. However, there is another specific reason for showing the flashback to 1976. At that time, there was an uprising in the Black townships against the apartheid regime then in place. (In the flashback we even see one of the men holding a sign which reads: “We want our rights.”) That uprising was subsequently quashed by the white-minority government and apartheid would continue until the early ‘90’s. It’s quite possible to figure that Dorothy contemplated what did not happen in ‘75 and what was happening in ‘76 and put the two together. Would it be any wonder that she would get “angry”? After all, the Society had told her that the accomplished end would occur in ‘75. But, here she finds herself the very next year and all Sheol is breaking loose outside the front door. And still, “the end is not yet”. Of course, the Society overly simplifies matters in its presentation of matters here. However, we know that there were those who experienced what did not happen in ‘75 and that send them back to do more and deeper personal study. By the end of the decade, as a result of what they were learning, many realized that the Society was just plain wrong on so much beyond eschatological teaching and they were forced to leave through either disfellowshipping, disassociation or fading. Regrettably, the manner in which the Society presents this scenario with Dorothy plays up the persecution complex by having her ex-husband personalize what had happened inasmuch as he said that “she left Jehovah and me”.

Against the backdrop of these two segments and Fleegle’s remarks on the “mystery” of God, we are taken into the dining room at the Society’s headquarters for the Morning Worship discourse by Ekrann. Here, he tries to explain—in the most cultish manner possible—that Jehovah’s witnesses are not a sect. Yet, we had just seen two segments underscoring how the Society is indeed a sect, which, in many countries, is a term used synonymously with cult.

Additional evidence to this effect is supplied through the remaining segments of this episode—from the music video to the latest installment of the “Caleb and Sophia” series. But, it all points to the Society inculcating into Jehovah’s witnesses the alleged nearness of an accomplished end of an order of things which will not occur, with or without a date certain.

It is just so sad to see how much the GB blames the members for wasting their lives instead of GB taking accountability. I am so glad I woke up and don't have to keep wasting my life waiting for something that will never happen.

My parents were witnesses but my father urged me to go to college, and in fact go away to school. He felt being away from home would spur independence and self-reliance..he was so right. I'm 62 and retured now from a great career in IT. I can’t thank my father (RIP) for being pragmatic regardless of the religion. My mom is in poor health and 91...can see the disappointment in Armageddon being delayed..again..

When any witness says: "You need to return to Jehovah"

Ask them: "What does it mean to return to Jehovah?"

The answer will equate to something like: "You must go to meetings regularly and participate, you must go on the ministry and essentiall hand out JW cards."

Then say: "So essentially my relationship with God, is fully dependant on following a JW routine, two meetings a week and maybe some standing by a cart?"

Maybe you will get a reply from Hebrews about not forsaking the gathering of ourselves together.....

Then go to the bible in Romans 8:38,39 - 38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,[a] neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

So the bible says that nothing, not even death can seperate me from the Love of God, which is my relationship with him. So why is it you say I have to follow a JW routine (which is very much changeable, as seen when they got rid of the book study) to have a relationhip with God and eternal salvation?

Omgosh this “church”
I would never be a member of anything that made me cut contact with my grown boys. I’d tell them see ya and leave.
As a mom it’s sad and astounding members actually are ok with this and do it!

I'm getting tired of waiting for you to post something worthwhile.

I sure they are getting sick of hearing about Armageddon I got sick of hearing about it for the 3 years that I was a Witness. That was 40 years ago and we are still here nothing has changed.🤦‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️

Hooray! Catto prominently featured in video!

Watchtower is very hypocritical about this. They keep saying that Armageddon is so close while telling rank and file that they need to be patient. Watchtower should stop baiting rank and file by keeping them on the hook by telling them Armageddon is imminent.

You would have an easier time separating Scrooge from his money than the GB. False teachers and heretics as well as a gang of misers!🤯🤬

I can tell you why people do this over & over again, because in the absence of any real hope in the society, people will hold on to almost anything offered them. JW’s offer that something, albeit false, but it’s SOMETHING, & unfortunately, there’s not a whole lot out there to grab onto, especially nowadays.😮

Kitty!! 😸

Totally absurd.

I thought it was supposed to take place in ‘75? Woops.

I can't believe I was that stupid at one time 😮

When my sister's husband died one of the elders became a signee on her bank account. I could not believe she was allowing this. It's been 15 years now and she is dead broke and ill and the witnesses are no where to be found yet she still believes.

And why are their videos always made in 3rd world countries? In poverty stricken areas around the earth; but hardly ever right here in the United States? Here where the snares of materialism can produce as much stress as that of poverty or low-income situations? Maybe because American publishers aren't that stupid so as to not see through their manipulative story telling?
We love our brothers and sisters in these areas; but how about bringing your lessons home and depict what families go thru right here in the US? Probably because the reality would make them have to change all of their abusive policies and expose their Pharisaical teachings and un-Christlike ways of dealing with those who sin in some way.

One thing I can tell you the reason why I know that Jehovah witnesses have the truth about the Bible is because the elders do not get paid one penny to Shepherd, the congregation or to teach the congregation they all work jobs. So if this was false religion like Babylon, the great then we wouldn’t survive because those people only survive because their pastors make hundreds of thousands of dollars teaching false doctrines if they didn’t get paid, the churches was shut down.

Dorothy is wise!

I got booted out 20 years ago!

Here comes HOLY K LLERS.

I have never heard a JW
talk about their personal relationship with GOD .

I think Gage (who was separated at birth from Woody Harrelson) must be taking visual aid advice from Ken Flodin.

This has been studied indeed. The book "When Prophecy Fails" published in 1956 talks about this.

Me: reads title about time lmfao

Seen this from cult documentaries, and it's something JW exploits incredibly well: the more time you invest in a belief, the more likely you are to defend that belief because otherwise, you'll have to confront that you've wasted all that time and effort on nothing, something that is incredibly difficult for a lot of people to do.

The Jehovah's Witnesses have you doing all this work, spending all this time evangelising, going door-to-door, helping at the church, studying these books and videos, that is part of the indoctrination, not reading the message but investing your time into the cult.

I am so glad that I had the foresight to leave this cult when I was 17. It was one of the best decisions I ever made.

If he can’t see that this world is full of more wickedness I can’t help you! Everything down from this fake election they’re doing for this psyop to get this agenda 2030 in. Everyone in power worships Satan. All of them do. Trans thing is wicked. Aliens 👽 are being “seen” demons

Why is it ok for black people to do White face but if I did black face it’d be the end of the world?

This organization is the perfect meaning of gaslighting

I love how it's always the wife who is weak and the husband is the one who is strong. Utter BS.

"When will the end come?" What reasonable person would ask such a thing? Is there any scriptural precedence for being concerned about that subject?

I left when i was 16, luckily my mother accepted my decision as my free will, but i remember being told over and over that we were in the last of the last of the final days. Im 47 now.

Here’s a long ago JW fact: previous to 1990, when they would “place” a publication at a door, they would ask for a specific “donation”. So the .25 she mentioned is probably the amount he asked for.
